2 Principles of valuation of assets and liabilities

2.1 General
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the statutory provisions of Part 9, Book
2, of the Netherlands Civil Code and the firm pronouncements in the Guidelines for Annual Reporting in
the Netherlands as issued by the Dutch Accounting Standards Board. The financial statements are
denominated in euros.

In general, assets and Iiabilities are stated at the amounts at which they were acquired or incurred, or fair
value. If not specifically stated otherwise, they are recognised at the amounts at which they were acquired
or incurred. The balance sheet, income statement and cash flow statement include references to the
notes.

date. Exchange differences resulting from settlement and translation are recognised through profit or 1055.

Where the currency risk on monetary assets and liabilities has been hedged, translation gains and losses
are not yet taken to the income statement, but included under accruals and deferrals if unrealised gains on
these hedges should neutralise these gains or losses at the balance sheet date.

Exchange differences on foreign-currency loans conlracled 10 finance a nel inveslmenl in a foreign


operation are recognised in the statulory reserve for translation differences if and wh en such loans
effeclively hedge the exchange rale exposure on Ihal nel inveslmenl in a foreign operalion.

2.4 Intangible assets

Goodwill

economie life with a maximum of 20 years.

remaining economie Iife based on the underlying license.

For determining whether an impairment charge in respect of an intangible fixed asset applies, reference is
made to note 2.7.

2.5 Property, plant and equipment


Property, plant and equipment is valued either at cost plus additional direct expenses, less straight-Iine
depreciation over the estimated economie life.

impairment charge in respect of an intangible fixed asset applies, reference is made to note 2.7.

2.6 Financial assets

Group companies

Company exercises less than 20% and more Ihan 50% are carried at cost the or lower markei value. A
provision against subsidiaries whose net equity value is below their carrying value is made only when
management believes that the diminution is of permanent nature. Investments between 20% and 50% are
accounted for at net equity value.

Associated companies
Participating interests in which no significant influence can be exercised are stated at acquisition price. If
an asset qualifies as impaired, it is measured at its impaired value; any write-offs are disclosed in the
income statement.

be subjecl to impairment. If Ihere are such indications, Ihe recoverable amount of the assel concerned is
estimated. If Ihis is not possible, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which Ihe asset
belongs, is identified. An asset is subject to impairmenl if its book value is higher than its recoverable
value; the recoverable value is Ihe higher of Ihe realisable value and the value to the business.

2.8 Receivables
Trade receivables are carried at the fair value of the consideration, usually its face value. If payment of the
receivable is postponed under an extended payment deadline, fair value is measured on the basis of the
discounted value of the expected revenues. The difference between fair value and face value is accounted
for as interest income during the period up to the expected receipt of payment. A provision is made for
expected bad debts.
